Selah. ³ you have taken away all your wrath: you have turned yourself from the fierceness of your anger. ⁴ Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause your anger toward us to cease. ⁵ Will you be angry with us forever? will you draw out your anger to all generations? ⁶ Will you not revive us again: that your people may rejoice in you? ⁷ show us your mercy, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. ⁸ I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace to his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. ⁹ Surely his salvation is near them that fear him that glory may dwell in our land. ¹⁰ Mercy and truth are met together righteousness and peace have kissed [each other]. ¹¹ Truth will spring out of the earth and righteousness will look down from heaven. ¹² Yes, the LORD will give that which is good; and our land will produce her increase. ¹³ Righteousness will go before him and will set us in the way of his steps.
